The Empress' heart jumped. After being husband and wife with Emperor Wen Hui for so many years, she naturally knew what kind of temperament Emperor Wen Hui had. She immediately relaxed her expression and changed her questioning look as she softly said, "This Concubine knows that Your Majesty's heart is troubled. Just now this Concubine was impulsive. This Concubine is also worried about the Crown Prince … Remember that when the Crown Prince was young, the Grand Tutor could not teach him and it was Your Majesty who personally taught the Crown Prince … In the Crown Prince's heart, Your Majesty is the wisest. Now this Concubine and Your Majesty understand that this matter has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's temperament is gentle and honest, so how would he kill someone? Even if he were to kill someone, he would not be so stupid as to be an assassin in broad daylight. Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is innocent. You are the Crown Prince's father, could it be that you want to watch the Crown Prince bear the infamy because of a groundless accusation? "
These conciliatory words had some effect as Emperor Wen Hui's expression also eased up. Among the nine Princes, the one that Emperor Wen Hui wanted to support the most was the Crown Prince, so naturally he was not willing for the Crown Prince to die here. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a palace maid reporting from outside, "Your Majesty, Consort Xian has arrived."
The Empress' expression was as usual but the hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly. Among the Concubines in the Palace, Consort Xu Xian was the most arrogant as she had given birth to two Princes, Prince Zhou and Prince Jing. Normally she was pampered and had a beautiful appearance. Even though she acted arrogantly, she held Emperor Wen Hui's heart tightly.
And the Empress was not ignorant of the ambitions of the two brothers, Prince Zhou and Prince Jing. Consort Xu Xian naturally hoped that her sons would be able to sit in that position, so once something happened to the Crown Prince, Consort Xu Xian would not let go of this opportunity to throw stones down the well.
One saw Consort Xu Xian gracefully walking in. Even though she had given birth to two sons, Consort Xu Xian's appearance did not show any signs of aging. One heard that she used goat's milk to bathe daily and her skin was smooth and firm. Compared to the immaturity of a young female, she had the mature charm of a married woman. There were three thousand beauties in the Palace and Consort Xu Xian's appearance indeed made others envious. It was no wonder that Emperor Wen Hui knew that Consort Xu Xian was arrogant and domineering, but still pampered her.
When Consort Xu Xian came in, she greeted Emperor Wen Hui and the Empress. She then smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, so I had the pastry chef make some Purple Snow Bird's Nest for Your Majesty to taste. I didn't expect you to be here too. "
The Empress smiled faintly and did not want to speak more with her. But how could Consort Xian let go of this opportunity? She looked at the Empress and said, "Sister, you didn't come to His Majesty today because of the Crown Prince, did you?"
Emperor Wen Hui did not say anything when the Empress raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Younger Sister is also meddling too much!"
Consort Xu Xian covered her mouth and laughed. She looked at the silent Emperor Wen Hui and then looked at the Empress before speaking unhurriedly, "Originally Younger Sister should not speak about these matters. But His Majesty is already worried about this. Why doesn't Elder Sister understand His Majesty and disturb His Majesty at this critical moment? " As she had the palace servant put down the basket in her hand, she said, "The matter of the Crown Prince is not only related to one person's life. The Crown Prince of the Qin Kingdom died here for no reason. On that day, only the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of the Qin Kingdom were present. Younger Sister naturally believes that the Crown Prince would not do such a crazy thing. Can you show evidence?"
"If we can't produce evidence, how can we convince the public? Moreover, the Qin country's people are watching so closely. If His Majesty heard Older Sister's words and released the Crown Prince, one do not know how big of a wave would be set off at the Qin country's end. Older Sister cannot only think of herself and the Crown Prince, but also think of the common people. "Consort Xu Xian was considerate but it made the Empress' face change.
"Shut up!" The Empress said angrily.
Consort Xu Xian pretended to be frightened and retreated a little before looking at Emperor Wen Hui with grievance, "Your Majesty, this consort has good intentions to persuade Older Sister but Older Sister does not appreciate it. This consort is really wronged to death!"
